WRONG. Clinton was impeached. You're letting your ignorance show, I'm
afraid.

As you can see, you have an incomplete understanding of the word,
'impeach'. You think it only means defintion 3. Stupid little man!

Maybe so.

And, he's completely wrong:
At the federal level, Article Two of the United States Constitution (Section
4) states that "The President, Vice President, and all other civil Officers
of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and
Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors." The
House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching, while the United
States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. The removal of
impeached officials is automatic upon conviction in the Senate.
